Chapter 1090: This Worship
When he learned the news that the imperial army had been wiped out, Wei Renpu made a decision almost instantaneously without the slightest hesitation.
Only by taking refuge in Li Zhongyi, who won a big victory, at the first time, can Wei Renpu occupy a place in the future court.
Wei Renpu's real power in the political hall is very limited, and many good people have given him a very ugly nickname: Companion Food.
However, as the so-called broken ship also has three catties of nails, the tiger will not die!
No matter how bad Wei Renpu is, after all, he is one of the eight ministers appointed by the emperor before his death. If he takes refuge in Li Zhongyi first, even if it is just the icing on the cake, it will be enough to reap a lot of benefits.
One of the eight phases of Tuogu, leading the exemplary trend of taking refuge in the upstart, for Li Zhongyi, who already has an absolute military advantage, he just wanted to fall asleep and met the pillow, and the name of righteousness is already perfect.
Wei Renpu was worried that he would fall behind Li Qiong, regardless of his old age and decrepitude, he risked his old life and hurried away, and it only took two days to finally rush ahead of Li Qiong and rush to Wolongling in time.
The person arrived, but Wei Renpu's physical strength was obviously exhausted, and his legs trembled all the time, if it wasn't for the breath in his chest, I am afraid that he would have been paralyzed into mud.
There's no way, who is called the descendants of the Wei family, none of them are angry, and all his uncles are gentlemen? These Wei family members, in addition to walking birds and fighting cocks and lackeys on weekdays, are to enjoy a hundred dramas and beautiful women, and even make a scandal of jealousy and fighting.
In order for the old Wei family to keep the wealth in front of him, Wei Renpu did not hesitate to use the old relationship that had been hidden for many years, and quietly slipped out of the city under the pretense of pretending to be sick, and hurried overnight to Wolongling.
Although he had decided to take the initiative to take refuge, Wei Renpu was still anxiously guarding the gate of the camp, waiting for Li Zhongyi's decision.
When Wei Renpu saw the guard of honor of all the zaifu and waved it away, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly clenched his fists: God forbid, he still made the right bet after all!
"Wei Xianggong ......" Li Zhongyi walked quickly in front of Wei Renpu, and just opened his mouth before he finished speaking, he saw Wei Renpu kneeling on one knee first, and it turned out to be an over-standard salute.
Li Zhongyi was very surprised in his heart, isn't it like this, even if Wei Renpu has no real power, he is also the minister of the political hall, is this going to make trouble?
The prime minister of this dynasty, the courtesy of hundreds of bureaucrats, enjoy the lofty treatment of His Majesty to see the seat, and to discuss politics and tea, Wei Renpu's worship is simply a historical precedent for the prime minister to kneel and worship.
"Woohoo! The damn leg, which was soft into mud at the most critical moment, actually knelt down. Wei Renpu secretly hated in his heart, his old face was swollen and purple, and he bit the tip of his tongue in anger.
He used all his strength and pinched his right leg fiercely, trying to stand up with all his might, but he couldn't.
"The old minister is guilty, please punish him severely!"
Since Mu Youzhou has a boat, Wei Renpu simply doesn't want to lose face, he just bows his head and confesses, he loses face, he has to earn some money back, right?
"Where did Wei Xianggong come from? Xiang Gong is a model for the ministers, not only not guilty, but also very meritorious. Li Zhongyi leaned down, stretched out his arms, and steadily helped Wei Renpu up.
At this time, Li Zhongyi also saw Wei Renpu's abnormality, and he couldn't help but secretly laugh, this kneeling is described as priceless, it is by no means an exaggeration, and the gold content is amazingly high!
Just imagine, after Wei Renpu set a precedent of kneeling and bowing to Li Zhongyi, if the later ministers just stood and saluted, then, may I ask, where is the sincerity of taking refuge?
Even Lao Wei, one of the eight phases of Tuogu, knelt down, except for Fan Zhen, the prime minister, who has a higher status than him? Who would dare not kneel?
In fact, Li Zhongyi was very disgusted with the bow salute, not to mention far away, the common military salute in the Li family's army was the chest beating salute, the knife salute and the eye salute, and there was never such a thing as kneeling.
To paraphrase what Li Zhongyi often said, my Chinese man has gold under his knees, and after kneeling for a long time, I'm afraid I don't even know what it's like to stand up and straighten my waist!
Just when Wei Renpu repented of his intestines, Li Zhongyi held his arm unusually affectionately and pulled him side by side.
"Wei Xianggong has traveled thousands of miles to vote, and he can be an example for hundreds of officials. Although I am a rough man who doesn't read, I also know the old allusion of repaying the peach, and I will live up to the good intentions of the old man. ”
At the moment when Wei Renpu knelt down, Li Zhongyi's heart moved violently, and he made a decision immediately.
Wei Renpu lost his old face in public, and if Li Zhongyi didn't help him make up for it from the inside, he might make the world's civil ministers and generals feel very cold.
In many cases, the main purpose of setting an example above the temple is not to target the grass people, but to send a clear message to the real power faction inside and outside: learn from the old minister Wei, and there will be meat to eat!
On the other hand, as long as you are smart, you will understand the truth: if you don't learn from Old Minister Wei, hehe, the consequences will be very unpredictable!
Wei Renpu has always been a sleek old bureaucrat, and when Chai Rong was in power, he was obedient and obedient. When Fan Zhen dominated the political affairs hall, he was always patient and gentle, and never confronted Fan Zhen head-on.
Now, Li Zhongyi's words vaguely revealed that it was likely to arrange Wei Renpu to serve as prime minister, and the old Wei Xianggong's heart instantly became appropriate, and the original distorted mentality suddenly gained a great balance.
What is the concept of the prime minister, just look at the majestic majesty of Fan Zhen who is full of words and spits, and smashes a pit!
"The old minister is dizzy, and he has eyes and ignores the saint, and he is really guilty...... "Wei Renpu slapped a big fart.
Chu Xiong, who was following closely, rolled his eyes, what the Lord said was right, people die for money, birds die for food, and you lose for power!
After Li Zhongyi personally welcomed Wei Renpu to the big tent of the Chinese army, he even invited him to take a seat, Wei Renpu was neither an infantile patient, nor did he have the sequelae of meningitis, how could he dare to trespass?
The two politely pushed back and forth, and finally reached a compromise, Li Zhongyi was in the main seat at the top, and Wei Renpu's seat was close to his left, which was the position of the prime minister.
Wei Renpu sat down and drank a few sips of the hot tea made by Li Cuixuan himself, the big stone that was originally hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he finally seized the opportunity, and this trip was not in vain.
The so-called layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway, and if you are not an insider, it is difficult to understand the mystery!
Li Cuixuan, who made Wei Renpu swallow his saliva secretly, was called out by Li Zhongyi to serve him tea in person, and this courtesy is beyond measure!
"Xianggong, what is the situation between the DPRK and China?" With Zuo Ziguang, a natural conspirator, near Kaifeng City, Li Zhongyi knows everything about the movements in the capital.
However, he still wanted to hear Wei Renpu's opinion, the so-called stone of the mountain can attack jade, and the three stinky fart craftsmen can top Zhuge Liang, which is not unreasonable nonsense.
Wei Renpu, who has invested far more than the return, where does he still have half a scruple, he poured beans into a bamboo tube, and spit out the virtual and real in the capital.
PS: Don't talk nonsense, there will be two more today, and ask for a monthly ticket to encourage Sikong to refuel the code word!
